Hull Remembers

Hull Remembers is currently raising a memorial to the people of Hull who lived through the bombing of the city in World War I & II. Our hands-on exhibition centre displays images of Hull at war, artefacts from WW1 & II and a number of real, deactivated, weapons which may be handled by our visitors.

We also offer a free military research service and can help to decypher complicated military records.

Visits from schools, college, youth groups, clubs and societies are always welcome and we are also happy to bring a selection of our favourite artefacts along to you. We can offer talks suitable for all age groups, 6 to 106, and offer a wide range of subjects. Our talks and presentations can be booked for anything from 15 minutes to a whole day.

The Hull Trench and Officers Dugout

2 June 2014 — 16 December 2018 *on now

The Hull Trench and Officers dugout represents a section of the front line, not too far from the fallen Madonna of Albert. Complete with a Great War Lewis machine gun, trench periscope, sniper port and assorted trench debris and artefacts, visitors will need to make sure they keep their heads down as there is no telling who may be watching across no-man's land. Unlike many sections of the front, there is a complete ban on smoking due to the number of explosives and rockets amassed in this area.

The Officers Dugout is stuffed full of genuine period artefacts to grab your attention and even includes a number of personal items such as books, sent to the front by a loving mother as a Christmas present in December 1914. If only they could talk...

Suitable for

Any age

Admission
